How the West see us

As you read this, the meeting at Davos(World Economic Forum) on development would have taken place. The Western countries want to invest in India not for benefit of India but for their own selfish benefits. The West sees a market in India. They want to expand their tentacles to exploit the developing world.As they want,we cannot make concessions for them, so that they can trade here. That will lead to further impoverishment of our people.
We cannot be exploited again as we were when we were a colony of the British. We are now a free nation and cannot be taken for granted as before.Our decisions will be made by us.
There cannot be equality in a trade relationship between unequal nations.Those who have superior technology will try to use weaker nation's resources to their own advantage.And Indians are bright enough to know this.At this point, we can help ourselves only.They cannot help us.
The Western countries have lost their hold on their position as the so called  "developed world".The Eurozone crisis, economic turmoils and the world recession are all indicators of their downfall.Always the Western countries took the resources of the underdeveloped world and constructed their economies. But now developing nations have a put an end to that, now where will they go for resources? They have lost all colonies whom they had exploited.Unfair policies cannot last for long.This is  how the "West has lost" and is now completely sunk.The West has set a bad example, and we cannot follow them.We can learn from them and avoid that path.
When heroic materialism or consumerism takes over and indiscreet use of resources takes it toll, their economies will collapse.Lifestyles of luxury stems from exploitation of resources to its farthest limit. They have now found the limits
Now, may be they can try to live in a more simple manner using fewer consumer items.But they are not going to trade with us and impoverish us all over again.We are too smart to fall for that trick. We keep hearing from Europeans, "because of growth of new rising economies, we are experiencing  economic down trend"Why? All through history, we were economically down because West had exploited us.And now what we hear is: 'We are not economically doing well because of emerging economies' We did not stop prosperity of any one else.
Its our turn to industrialize, and we will keep in mind that our ecological heritage is in tact.
